    Copper or titanium tubing

    That's interesting. The owner's manual clearly states that the condenser coil is cupronickel.

    Copper or titanium tubing

    I installed a 12,000 BTU Webasto reverse cycle unit almost 2 years ago which so far has been working well. The Webasto units have cupronickel condenser coils. I am not familiar with CTM units or titanium coils.

    Reinstating master license

    I had 2 instances when I renewed a master license beyond the grace period of 1 year. In 1991 I renewed a license that had expired in 1988. That was for 1600 ton master. That license expired in 1996 and I was able to renew it in 2005 for 100 ton master due to the fact that I had at one time held...

    Hynautic H40 Helm - Possible to Reverse?

    Here is a link to Kele. There is another ball joint on the page that is 90 degrees. They sell a lot of control products and accessories, not for the marine industry that I am aware of. The items will be zinc plated. These look to be made for a 5/16" rod...

    Present yachts

    I have a 1984 Present 42' that I purchased 5 years ago. It is my 1st trawler. I live aboard and find it roomy and comfortable. There are twin Lehman SP135's in it. So far it has been dependable. There is not much in the way of teak on the exterior which I like. Cosmetically it needs work. I am...

    Low pressure freon alarm

    Intermittent problems can be the most frustrating to diagnose. I had a similar problem with the high pressure switch on my cruisair unit. It finally became frequent enough that I was able to see it trip with gauges connected. It confirmed that the switch was bad. I replaced it and the problem...

    AC/HEAT thermostat

    You should be able to use your old thermostat as a guide to get the right style. Your standard heat pump thermostat like the honeywell will have terminals on it to switch the units reversing valve from heat to cool mode. Some marine units will use a standard heat/cool thermostat (not a heat...

    Barnacled air conditioning popping breaker

    A grounded compressor will trip a breaker as soon as power is applied. This sounds like what you are describing. There are other things that can trip a breaker as well. In your pictures you show a run capacitor as the original and a start capacitor as the second or test capacitor. They are...

    Westerbeke WMD 8 problem

    Thank you both for your replies. It turns out that the flyweights on the governor will shut the generator off when the generator lever and tie rod are released. I tested it manually a couple of times with the tie rod cover off and then reassembled with the fuel solenoid connected. It is starting...

    Westerbeke WMD 8 problem

    Hello all, I have a Westerbeke WMD 8 generator which I have done an upper end rebuild on. The rebuild of the head and fuel injection pump as well as servicing of the fuel injectors was done by a local diesel shop. The rest of the work was done by me. I mention that because I have never...

    Garmin chartplotter - current date

    I have the same problem with my new to me Garmin 4212. I contacted Garmin yesterday and spoke with one of their service techs. He said he would email me a fix for the problem which would require installing an update. I have not received the fix as of this morning.
